Nice beach with food service right on the beach. Surfboard rentals and locals selling clothing and much more on the beach.

Geriba was my favorite beach in Buzios. The beach is very long and wide, great for a nice long beach walk. The water is pretty clear and the beach is never too crowded. There are a few beach stands where you can get food and drinks but this one beach club FISHBONE was SUPER swanky and cool. And had good... More

We didn't see and visit all of Buzio's beaches, but Geribá definitely was a beautiful one: it's long enough for a 30 minutes walk from one side to the other - the sand is fine & clean - the water is very clean & clear - no rocks or seaweed - water wasn't too cold. You can walk at least... More

This beach is soooo busy! People are 6 deep and you need a car or to arrange a taxi to get there and back. But the upsides are the crashing waves and massages on the beach. And I also quite like the fact that vendors pass but with food and beach ware.

I've visited Buzios twice (2009 & 2012). Geriba is my favorite beach in Buzios. It's is long, open beach with beautiful people, amazing sunsets, nice restaurants, good music, landscape of small mountains & excellent waves for surfing.

This beach is what I had in mind when I thought of Brazilian beaches. Crowds of young, tan and beautiful young people, walking and strutting. Cool beach bar gives a flavor of Brazilian life.

Beach Clubs, Surf, Gorgeous and happy young people....its pretty much my favourite place in Brazil. Better get the high tides for surfing, locals are polite and nice surfers. Fishbone get insane at weekends, holidays at low season and everyday-nite on South Summer. LOVE THIS PLACE !!
